Authenticity and Sensitivity Reviews

Sensitivity & Authenticity Reviews for Inclusive Storytelling

A sensitivity read involves having a knowledgeable reader review your manuscript for cultural accuracy, representation, and respectful portrayal of marginalized communities. I offer Authenticity and Sensitivity Book Reviews to help bring out authenticity around marginalized voices. As an authenticity reader, I utilize my lived in experiences and and expertise to provide feedback on character representation within your story. My specialty is focused on eliminating biases, negative stereotypes, and clichés from your stories where I provide honest feedback on how your story portrays People of Color. These areas can include:

  • African American experience including culture, dialogue and relationships

  • Women in STEM especially black women in STEM and tech

  • Women’s issues and gender roles

  • Women aged 35+

  • Sexual orientation: dating, monogamy, heterosexuality

Here’s How It Works

I review in progress manuscripts to provide honest feedback on characters, plot, setting, etc. in addition to giving a holistic evaluation of the overall work. We will decide ahead of time on what the sensitivity read should focus on. Here’s a quick overview of our collaboration for your authenticity review:

  1. Submit Your Manuscript: Complete the form below and send me your in progress or completed manuscript so we can discuss which aspects you’d like us to focus on (e.g., cultural accuracy, disability representation, LGBTQ+ themes) and your anticipated book release date.

  2. Expert Review: I will meticulously review your manuscript, providing detailed feedback on your approved focus areas.

  3. Actionable Suggestions: You’ll receive a report with specific recommendations to enhance authenticity, improve representation, and avoid harmful stereotypes.

  4. Confidentiality: I respect your work and maintain strict confidentiality.
